Symmetric polynomial constructed from symmetric group

Let $n$ be a positive integer, $S_n$ be the symmetric group. For a permutation $p=[p_1,\dots,p_n]\in S_n$, define $x^p := x_1^{p_1}\cdots x_n^{p_n}$. It can be seen that the following polynomial is ...

When are immanants irreducible?

For a partition $\lambda$ let $\chi_\lambda$ be the corresponding irreducible representation of the symmetric group $S_n$. Let $\mathrm{Imm}_\lambda(x) = \sum\limits_{\pi \in S_n} \chi_\lambda(\pi) x_{...
